Just a quick random shot from my ribfest walk last week. This one made me think of Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo.

So my main computer is in the shop, so I’m only left with my laptop. I’ve had such photoshop withdrawl that I’ve had to download some pictures from my camera phone and edit them. Here’s the only ones that I could recover…

So my old car died on the side of the 407 a few weeks ago. We went out and purchased our new Kia Rio5. Here’s a shot of the odometer. I couldn’t get it right at the lot as I didn’t have the camera with me and I have to pick up the kids from daycare, so Susie got to drive it home.

Susie and I went down to the Festival of Friends in Hamilton. I was in the pit shooting with the 5D and she had the Rebel XT.
Some party girls climbed up the TV tower to dance for a bit!





THE classic Iron Maiden pose!




I almost missed this great shot of James. Amazing guitar face:
